Original Romanistan Design

This colour sketch marked an important moment in my journey as an artist. I consider it to be a marker of my genesis from a graduate artist into one of a more international standing. This was the bones from which I constructed a major European commission. I'd never attempted a design of such complexity and ultimately, such scale. To take a drawing of such a humble size and transform it into a 19-metre-long mural was quite the task but, once completed, made me the artist I am today. Now, 8 months later, I'm ready to let one fortunate person own the original design. Enquiries - zingaromar@gmail.com

CRYPTOLOGY

Born on a cold night in 1986, it was clear that Omar was a special child. Between 1994-97, Omar lived on the edge of the Great Rift Valley mountain range in darkest Africa. After a time lost in the Great British educational system, it became apparent that Omar's only chance was art school. In the winter of 2007 he was exchanged and went to live in Transylvania (Romania) because he thought it would look good on paper. Painstakingly and with much controversy he graduated from art school in 2009 and his degree show entitled 'Omar's Spuriosity Shop' was met with wide acclaim and his work now exists in many countries. Omar travels around with his briefcase which holds essential documents and he insists on delivering artwork personally, where he can, as long as he is given coffee. He always appears on time and in full Sabbath attire or his leathers. If you should want to contact Omar for exhibitions, commissions, or any other business his email address is zingaromar@gmail.com -
Despite the way that he presents himself, it's all smoke and mirrors, he is in fact very approachable.
